The shag staircase is a part of the “House under a leaf” [1], a project by Giò Ponti, which was meant to be a holiday house for the art collector Giobatta Meneguzzo in Malo. In the end the client decided it should be a year-round residence, which is also holding a part of his collection. Since Ponti was unwilling to work on an adaptation to the new situation, he recommended the young designer Nanda Vigo for this task. Among other things, she is an author of a shag spiral staircase situated in the center of the residence, leading to the art collection on the lower level. [2]
